$BTC Metaplanet Unveils $5.4 Billion Plan to Acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027
Metaplanet Inc. announced a $5.4 billion capital raise to significantly increase its bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by 2027, representing approximately 1% of the total bitcoin supply.
Japanese Firm Targets 1% of Bitcoin Supply with Ambitious Acquisition Strategy
Metaplanet Inc. , a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has unveiled an ambitious plan to raise $5.4 billion (770 billion yen) by issuing 555 million shares, with the aim of expanding its bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
This goal equates to approximately 1% of the total bitcoin supply, marking a significant escalation from the previous goal of 21,000 BTC by 2026.
The capital raising, dubbed the “ 555 Million Plan ,” involves the issuance of variable-weight warrants, an innovative financial instrument in Japan that adjusts the exercise price based on market conditions.
This strategy is designed to optimize capital raising while minimizing shareholder dilution. The funds will be used primarily to purchase additional bitcoin, with some allocated to bond buybacks and income-generating strategies such as selling put options.
CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the company’s commitment to bitcoin as a core treasury asset, posting on his X account ,
Metaplanet's aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy reflects a broader trend among corporations to seek to hedge against economic uncertainties and currency devaluation.
The company’s shares have seen substantial growth, up 275% since the start of 2025 and delivering a 1619% return over the past year. With its current holdings of 8,888 BTC, Metaplanet ranks among the largest corporate holders of BTC globally.
Circle IPO debuts strong as CRCL gains over 120% on day 1
Circle upsized the deal and priced 34 million shares at $31 each, raising about $1.1 billion. The company was valued at $6.8 billion before trading began, or roughly $8 billion on a fully diluted basis. Circle originally planned a smaller offering of 24 million shares in the $24–$26 range, later raised to $27-$28, but strong demand drove the final size and price above those ranges.
The offering ranks as one of the largest crypto-related listings since Coinbase’s Nasdaq debut in 2021.A hot start Circle’s stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CRCL on June 5. The debut saw a surge in price with shares opening around $69.50 (up 124% from the $31 IPO price) and traded as high as $103.75. This sharp gain signals strong investor appetite for a crypto firm’s listing.
For comparison, Coinbase’s 2021 had an initial reference price of $250 and closed its first day near $328. Shares completely lost any post-IPO momentum and are now sitting at $245. However, the stock bottomed in 2023 at $31.55.
Is Circle doomed to see a similar fate? Analysts aren’t convinced. For starters, Circle’s core stablecoin, USD Coin (USDC), is already one of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies with roughly $60–61 billion in circulating supply, and is second only to Tether.
USDC’s adoption by exchanges, payment providers, and banks has made Circle a key player in digital finance. The firm’s financial track record is also stronger than many crypto startups. Notably, it reported $1.68 billion in revenue for 2024. Circle’s net income was $155.7 million last year, which was down from $267.5 million in 2023.
Regardless, the company is profitable, which is a rarity among crypto-native firms. One would expect that support from the crypto friendly White House will translate to rising profits over the coming years.
